live camera with Objective-C
« on: Nov 16th, 2004, 12:31am »

I am working on macOSX and I want to increase the performance of some of my processing projects without having to use Max/MSP/SoftVNS.  
 
I am thinking of trying the Xcode environment with Cocoa and Objective-C but haven't been able to find examples or classes for camera vision.  
 
Does anybody have any advice?
thanks

i'm on xcode as well ... but with java/processing.
 
although i guess native code is much faster there is some room with processing ... the camera and movie class in processing is not as fast as possible (on os-x at least). i've been playing with quicktime for java for some days now and i think it can be speeded up ... especially in special cases (not having to support everything, as processing does). here are some pointers:

quicktime-java list
http://lists.apple.com/
while at apple grab the qtj-examples
 
some more sources:
http://stage.itp.nyu.edu/danclass/
http://java.khm.de/
 
...
 
so my advice would be to try to develop faster camera-code and stay with processing ... much less headache.
